The reason I could not give Shayna & Williamsburg Wedding Design a 5 on quality of service is a small lack of communication regarding the clean-up after the reception. As the bride, my brain was checked at "I do" - I wish there had been communication with my mother regarding what items needed to go with whom in order to clear out the reception site. Our church's communion plate and cup, plus the votives I purchased for the tables did not make it back to our hotel. No one has been able to locate them.

Other than that picky thing, everything was great!

Williamsburg Wedding Design responded with the following comments:

Thank you Katy for taking time to review our services. We are and have been in contact with the client regarding the disposition of the missing items, the church items in particular which I took personal care of that evening and am deeply concerned are still missing. We sincerely appreciate that you took your time to respond, Katy. Many thanks!

Shayna was amazing. She was responsive throughout the planning process and always had thoughtful ideas and insights. On the day of the wedding, she did all of the heavy lifting. I was never even once stressed or worried about anything. She did it all. I highly recommend Shayna to all brides in Williamburg!

Do not have a wedding without a day of coordinator if you can get Shayna. She is just a god send. She does has this amazing talent of being every where at once yet is so low key that just blends into the back ground. It is like having this angel that goes around making sure the whole wedding is running smoothly yet is not obtrusive or interfering at all with the event. My mother said all day Thank God I hired her. I am sure that I don't even know all the little things she did for us on that day but what I do know I am so grateful for. She is well worth it and more important they almost every thing else at the wedding as far as venders go.

Our wedding day was a huge success thanks to the Williamsburg Wedding Design Team led by Shayna Walker. From planning to execution – our rehearsal, ceremony, and reception was seamless. Shayna is truly a wedding master and did not leave any detail to chance. We have received comments from several of our guests about our wedding and how well everything went and that credit has to be extended to Shayna, Lauralee, Jessica, and Jessica! If you are in need of a wedding coordinator and team that can help you realize your dreams, help you stay on task and within your budget, make the right decisions and recommendations in (or out) of your presence – then the Williamsburg Wedding Design Team is it! They are truly a DREAM TEAM and the BEST investment in wedding consultation and planning. Thank you Shayna for EVERYTHING!

Sincerely – Justin and Angela Wright (July 12, 2008)

As the mother of the groom, planning a wedding with your soon to be daughter-in-law can be tricky! We hired a wedding planner to help us find vendors and sites since we had 7 months before a wedding that was to take place in Williamsburg in June. Shayna not only recommended excellent vendors, but she helped with all contracts, scheduling, and minute details. One of my first comments when we met with Shayna was that I wanted a stress-free event, thinking that I was asking for the impossible. But I must say, on the day of the wedding, I was hardly nervous since I knew that Shayna had everything under control. She came very close to making my request a reality! The wedding was beautiful and the reception was incredibly fun for everyone. What more could I ask! Thanks Shayna for making the day perfect.

All I can say about Shayna is THANK YOU! She made our wedding run seamlessly and with seemingly little effort! Let me brag on her and her staff for a minute.

I hired Shayna to be our day-of coordinator. We worked together for months leading up to the wedding, she responded via email and phone to recommend vendors and we prepared my big timeline for the day. She gave me honest feedback regarding the flow of the reception and ceremony, and was valuable in assisting me in making choices about the wedding party and seating.

She ran the rehearsal smoothly and quickly. She diffused a very stressful situation in which the venue manager actually got hostile with me. From the time she handled him so effortlessly, she put my mind at ease and it was smooth sailing all the way through til the end of the wedding.

The day of, while my girls and I were getting ready, her staff was picking up flowers and setting up decorations. When the 101 degree heat proved to be too scalding for our original ceremony location in the garden, she orchestrated moving the whole ceremony setup into the shade. She fielded vendors, directed family, assisted the photographer, told people where to go and what to do. Her staff even ran back to a local hotel to fetch my wedding band which I left in the room when we were taking photographs! Everything was perfect.

Afterward, my mom had to do very little, Shayna and her staff handled cleanup and lockup, we didn't have to worry about a thing.

I was dubious about spending money for a coordinator, but let me tell you it was worth EVERY PENNY. Contrasted with my sister's wedding where there was no coordinator but plenty of stress, mine was stress free, and we were able to just sit back and enjoy the day with family. We are so pleased we hired Shayna and her staff. Hire her, you won't be sorry!

Shayna's upmost goal is to make sure the wedding day is as perfect as can be for the bride on her special day. And that started from the day we hired her through all the selections of vendors, reception site, etc. to the set up of the ballroom for the reception which was beautiful. She even arranged lunch for the bride and her bridesmaids and delivered same at the hotel and kept on top of things through her assistants. I loved working with her.

Shayna and Amy were terrific. I was hesitant to spend the money on a "day of coordinator" but I'm a full time grad student and work full time AND was planning from out of state. I wanted to arrive in Virginia and not worry for those couple of days. Shayna is well worth it, I was so stressed at rehearsal because it had been pouring rain all day and we felt like we were running around like maniacs, she really eased my mind and was such a positive calming influence. Shayna facilitated all of the rehearsal and all of my vendor interaction the couple weeks prior. Knowing she was there making sure everything was going smoothly really allowed me to not think about it at all. Our wedding day was beautiful and we are thankful for her hardwork and positivity. Shayna truly allowed us to experience our day and not worry once about a things, not to mention she is just a very kind person who truly enjoys her profession.

My daughter's wedding went beautifully thanks to Shayna and her assistant. They were very good about keeping the wedding and reception moving at a good pace, meeting everyone's needs, and helping us focus on what needed to be done. We were very confident in her abilities, and we were not disappointed. I highly recommend her for anyone who is in need of a wedding coordinator. Aren't we all?
